The Simpsons (part 2)

Some of the Simpsons swipes below were back covers but they were too good to not show here.

Bartman 4

Amazing Spider-Man 50

Its amazing how influential this cover has become. A new series of articles by Drew Lujan just highlighted a Bloodshot cover that paid homage to this Spidey cover. If you haven’t read Drew’s series entitled “One Year Later” give it a try. Very informative and interesting stuff presented in each installment.

Radioactive Man 1000

Spawn 1

The Radioactive Man series is full of swipes. Some I still haven’t figured out. This one looked familiar but it took a quick Google search to figure out why.

Radioactive Man 216

Green Lantern 85

Not an exact swipe but still an homage to the famous drug issue!

Radioactive Man 222

Iron Man 45

I never knew being pelted by food was part of a super hero’s job description.

Simpsons Comics 28

USSR propaganda poster from 1931

The only things I know about being a Communist I learned from Seinfeld. Never name names and always go to Hop Sing’s for Chinese food and scheming.

Simpsons Comics 36

Captain America 111

The next four covers were all the back covers of their respective comics but really great swipes nonetheless.

Simpsons Comics 37

X-Men 50

I believe all the originals were done by Jim Steranko.

Simpsons Comics 38

X-Men 49

I think this one might be the best of the bunch. Of course I love the original as well. You have to be doing some pretty good drugs to decide to draw a superteam on someones face right?

Simpsons Comics 39

Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. 1

Does nobody else see the awesomeness of this swipe? The Radioactive Man characters are in the exact same pose as the guys on the original! That’s just cool!

I’ll try to get a few more together for next week. Radioactive Man covers seem to all be homages, I just need to figure out to what. Thanks again for reading!
